And you stand up clear-eyed, clean-minded, to look all the world squarely In the eye. You are a man. Bid you ever think, son, how much it has cost to make a man nut of you? Some ono has figured up the cost in money of rearing a child. He says to bring a young man to legal age, care for him and educate him, rosta $25,000. Which is a lot of money to put into flesh and blood. But that isn't all. You have cost your father many hard knocks and short dinners and worry and gray streaks In his hair. And your mother ah, boy, you will Hover know! You have cost her days and nights of anxiety and wrinkles Sa licr dear face and heartaches and sacrifice. It has been expensive to grow you. But - 3f you are what we think you are, you are worth all you cost and "auuch, much more. Ba suro of thi3: While father doesn't say much but "Hello, son," way down deep in his tough, staunch heart, he0thinks you aro the finest ever. And as foV the little mother, she simply cannot keep her love and pride for you out of her eyes. You are a- man now. And sometime you must step Into your father's shoes. He wouldn't Hko you to call him old, bi t Just the same he isn't as young as ho used ,lo he. You see. young mar, he has been working pretty hard for more than twonty years to help you up! And already your mother is begin ning to lean on you. Doesn't thnt sober you, Twenty-one? Your father has done fairly well, but you can do better. You may not Mitni so, but ho does. He has given you a better chance than he had. In mzry waya you can begin where ho loft off. Ho expects a good deal ffroin you, and that Is why ho has tried to make a man of you. t Don't flinch, boy. T ' 3 The world will try you out. It will put to the test every fiber In you. But you aro made of good stuff. Once the load is fairly strapped on your young shoulders, you will carry it and scarcely feel it If only there Bo tho willing and cheerful mind. All hall, you, on tho threshold! It's high time you were beginning to pay the freight. And your back flouts to your father and mother. You will pay them, won't you, boy? How shall you pay them? . By boing always and everywhere a man! r7 V for the consolntlon prize, tho former receiving it on tho "cut." This af ternoon, Mrs. Kato Lando Is enter taining the club. . Mrs. Mlnot will entertain tho 500 club at her home Tuesday afternoon. Mrs. M. C. Horton has issued in vitations for next Thursday after noon. Whist will bo tho diversion. CONTRIBUTIONS concerning social happenings, intended for publication in the society depart ment of The Times, must be sub mitted to the editor not lator than G o'clock p. m. Friday of each week. Exceptions will bo allowed only in cases where events occur later than tho timo mentioned.) SIMPS VS. RAILROADS. ; 11. LAWRENCE PERRY, in a recent Issue of tho World's Work of- fors some interesting statements of fact presented In support of tho affirmation that travel by sea is vastly safer than travel by land. Mr. Lawrence, of course, makes his case by assuming that overy sea travollor crosses tho Atlantic on ono of tho first-class liners. Ho makes a good caso, showing that disaster from accident either by col lision, flro, or oven explosion, or from the wicked battering of old Nep tune Is a factor no longer to bo seriously contemplated in travel by ono of theso ships. Tho record certainly supports Mr. Lawronco's statements and conclu sion.., and, Incidentally, wo can hardly oscapo comparison of thnt record, with tho story of slaughtor and of maimed and crippled humanity which Is written In American railroad operation overy year. Wo may auako allownnco for tho dlfforonco in volume of travel in tho two Instanc es, and for nil other matters wilch would throw tho burden or greater xlsk on railroads, but tho fact Is apparent as a matter-of common obser vation thnt tho ships have tho best of tho argument. Ouo Is impressed, as ho reads Mr. Lawronco's nrticlo, with tho evident effort of tho modern shlp-bulldor to mnko overy possible provision for tho safoty of sea travolors, and' regardless of oxponso. Ono Is moved to inqulro If tho fact that theso ships aro built abroad has anything to do with this thoroughness of construction. WOMAN SUFFRAGE. ACCORDING TO AN Italian Indy who writes from Buonos Ayres. woman surtrngo in Argontlna has been attended by some sur prising results. "A sort of reciprocal fear," this writer says, "Sicora to ralso an Insurmountable barrier botweon tho men and tho women-. "Whether at homo, In tho stroot, at banquets nnd public promen ades,' Tn tho theatres or schools, tho two sexes, as If by tacit understand ing, koop each other at respectful distance What most strikes tho for eigner who walks In Buenos Ayres, whother ho travorses tho narrow streets where tho traffic of foot passongors Is moro crowded than In ftlthor London or Paris, or saunters through tho broad avenues whero ttramcars, carriages, nutomoblles pass and ropnss each other, Is tho ab mniciT of woman. She acts, not as an nssoclato of tho man, hut ns a riv al, am? In tho same houso wo find an autagonlsm oxlstlng between hus haiul and wife, mother and son," And tho Mexican Herald supplements tho abovo assertions by remark ing: "Tho social roformors aro bog Inning to think thnt women aro bo ing too highly educated. They neglect tholr chlldron nnd household duties," Indlguant protosts and douiala are now In order. Charge cf the Fair Brigade. Half a btepJialf a step, Half a step 1 ward! Over there the bargains He On the counters piled so high, Luring the unnumbered, Forward the fair brigade! "Charge through the aisles!" they cry, (Three know what they want to buy Anxious unnumbered. Bargains to right of them; Bargains to left of them. Bargains in front of them, There to be plundered, Storm they with right-good will; Boldly they push and well, Into the jaws of death, i Where the best bargains sell, Push the unnumbered. When will their courage fade? Oh, the wild charge they made! AM the men wondered, Yet "honored" all the charges made, As oft before they'd, paid ror their wives' plunder, Forward the fair brigade!

Mr. J. Lee Captain of Guards Mrs. Mao Swearinger. who so successfully put .on "My Friend from India" will meet The new officers of the Woodmen with them to discuss the matter. The club will probably also appeal to the North Bend officials to have a stop put to tho tearing down of the handsome street signs which It re cently had put up.
